Dani Harrison did a great job. To some he sounds nervous. For the people who knows him, Dhani is passionate and spoke with his heart. Jeff Lynne means so much to him and even more since George passed away. Dhani will do the first part of Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Summer Tour in the US and Canada...I already have my tickets to see the best show in the world this year.
Jeff Lynne is an under-appreciated musical genius of our time. The depth of ELO's music is astounding. Few people recognize what a wide composition of musical styles and influence that Lynne's music pays tribute to. It speaks to the beauty and tribulations of the entire human condition - hardship and perseverance, nature and spirituality, love and rejection, romance and heartache. In addition to ELO's many hit singles, many of their songs actually blended into intricate rock concertos on their albums. If you have not experienced them, please give a listen to "Concerto for a Rainy Day" (subtitle of the full 3rd side of the Out Of The Blue album) or even the Eldorado album. I was a die-hard ELO fan from back in the day, while my friends couldn't see past artists like Ted Nugent. This induction was long. long overdue.
@ Fuck off, Dhani knew Jeff Lynne as a person better than most people there, worked with him to finish George's last record, has played concerts with him and most importantly, I can assure you that George himself would've been as nervous as Dhani doing the speech, and don't tell me that George didn't have the "credentials" for this. Speeches are more meaningful when they're done by someone who shares a strong connection with you, and you can tell that's the case with Jeff and Dhani
Another is that they let bands choose who to induct so bands can be very spiteful So when Fleetwood Mac were inducted they excluded Bob Welch who was there at a crucial moment as the group moved away from being a blues band But in relation to ELO Wood is picked (and he was there for about a year and a half) but Kelly Groucutt who was bass player for eight crucial years was excluded
Hearing Dhani opening his heart wide, apologising that he was the speaker ~in place of his father George Harrison~, inducting the ever brilliant ELO/Jeff Lynne for their contribution to music was quite moving. Dhani is an Englishman, so his emotion and enthusiasm tempered by good manners recounting boyhood memories of his father, ELO, and music was not ego fueled swagger, tedium, or nerves; but was joyful, energetic, and a loving speech. Seeing Dhani's eyes dance whilst he expressed all that was in his mind was delightful, he was every bit the musician and a gentleman that evening. When Dhani's voice was near breaking point about seeing Jeff Lynne's steady blue eyes over his glasses, helping him to work through his musical obstacles, tearlets came into my eyes. Watching Jeff's reactions to those thoughts was nicely done; beautiful really. A well spoken expressive human being, Dhani is.
This had to be the most emotional I induction to the hall of Fame the fabulously incredibly talented underrated Jeff Lynne and ELO How proud was Jeff of Dhani Harrison and you know George was there in spirit he will carry on his dad's legacy another brilliant talented musician George Harrison the quiet Beatle and you know Jeff's like a father to Dhani isn't he? I just wish it wasn't cut off @ the end isn't there a part to when Jeff received the award?
Dhani truly is a humble soul - no artifice. And even if he weren't, he's smart enough to know how to present himself when in the company of his super famous dad's famous friends.
Dhani’s speech was great! I’m one of the 1st ones to begin the audience cheering when he brought up “Back to the Future” since we knew its star was in attendance. I was so happy the rest of the crowd followed suit! I was close, but not close enough to see the very touched look on MJ Fox’s face. Thank you, Dhani, for allowing us to thank him!
George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne are 3 of the most talented musicians and best friends throughout it all. With friends like that it's no wonder these men created some of the best music ever.
Dhani Harrison...no notes needed...most passionate enthus iastic and straight from the heart ...for ELO...and Jeff...your dad is smiling down...good on you man!!!!!
Without any of the string players. They'd be Mik Kaminsky, Hugh McDowell and Melvyn Gale. Makes absolutely no sense but that's the Rock and Roll hall of fame for you.
Dhana, you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for this sincere introduction, and congratulations to Jeff Lynne and ELO - they provided the soundtrack to my childhood!
Agree. D’Hani spoke with such passion and vivid memories of his first concert and introduction of Jeff. I was blown away by his skill as a raconteur. Brilliant job!!
Sir Paul, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Joe Walsh, these are not musicians that needed a lot of help, but they just needed Jeff - well Said, Dhani. This is just the magnificence of Jeff Lynne!!
What wonderful memories Dhani has of his beloved father. He is an awesome image of his father. I love his stories as being told by a 7 year old child, wonderful!!!!!!☺️
I have learned a lot from both Dhani and his father. This video taught me that you can deliver a brilliant speech, and be terrified out of your mind at the same time! 😂
Dhani. You always do your father proud -- an extraordinarily difficult job. I find you wholly genuine, credible, beautiful, talented, and best of all, cognizant of the meaning and stature of your father's work to him and to those of us who loved him. Thank you. And bravo to your father and mother -- they did a really good job. You live up admirably to your father's legend. I salute you.
Great introduction by Dhani. He’s certainly inherited his father’s charm and since of humor. When ELO released Roll Over Beethoven I thought that it was the second coming of the Beatles! What an incredible band!
we love you Dhani... u are ur fathers son... and we see u being as good as he was... good luck in your carreer Dhani... lots of love to you and ur mom Olivia XXXX
To many of his peers Jeff Lynne is the very best ever...Most versatile musician, singer, songwriter, producer and most humble man in pop or Rock. See you Jeff Lynne's ELO in concert in 2019!
Dhani did a TERRIFIC job here, with so many insider references and so much humor. And Dhani has his father's voice, so much. So pleased that Roy Wood was inducted.
Dhani is such a great guy! He was so nervous! It took him forever to announce.ELO. I would love to meet him. George would be so proud of Dhani. ELO is a great band. They certainly deserved the award. Jeff is so talented in so many ways. He is a one man band. ❤️🌹❤️
If ANYONE deserves a Nobel Peace Prize it is Mr. Lynne. His music and concerts make the world a better place for everyone and anyone that experiences them. He gives us far more than we have ever given him. Let's get this done and then we can say: All over the world, Everybody got the word, Everybody, everywhere, is gonna feel tonight! Tim Ball, Rochelle, Illinois
Lynne is on speaking terms with almost none of his former band members - the ones who went on road with him night after night playing one gruelling show after another. They got stiffed financially and frozen out of the induction.. so no Jeff Lynne doesn't deserve a peace prize.
George and Olivia Harrison really wanted Tom and Jeff on that stage. Don't forget life is short...Celebrate Legends while they are still alive. Jeff Lynne’s latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no. 1 on the UK charts in November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA will Tour again in 2022! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again in the Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live classic Rock band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. His band ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. Jeff Lynne received in 2020 the OBE (officer of the British Empire) for his outstanding contribution in the Music industry. The Legends in the Music Industry like Paul, Ringo, Joe Walsh, Tom Petty and so many others called Lynne the best overall musician and producer ever…Source The Brilliant 2012 documentary by the BBC Mr. Blue Sky: « The Story Of Jeff Lynne ». Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!
*My dear, dear pal Jeff Lynne...* Sir George his Dad I'm sure was smiling @ his talented son from Heaven w/the biggest grin ever! Congrats ELO for making the R&RHOF!!
MY BAND! Love them sooooo much. My first big rock concert when New World Record was released. Damn, they blew me away. Do Ya love these guys as much as I do? Roll Over if you do. Classical instruments rocking as hard as a Les Paul plugged into Marshall cranked all the way up. They were already in the Hall of Fame of my heart and always will be. They cast a spell of Strange Magic over me and it’s been Blue Skies every since, at least musically.
Dhani is like Sarah Lee. Nobody doesn't like him. John Lennon said that if the Beatles had continued, they would have sounded like ELO. That's quite a tribute!
Jeff was recording with his band at the Abbey Road studio's at the same time that The Beatles were recording 'The Beatles' in 1968. That was the first time he met with them and he was knocked-out. John later said that ELO were the 'sons of The Beatles,' which probably meant that they had learned one or two things about the creative process...
What a beautiful tribute l,not only to ELO, but to his dad as well. It brought tears to my eyes. I think he looks just like his Dad. It's evident how he felt about his Dad and Jeff as well. I'm so glad I got to watch this. Thank you .
I don't know why but this brought a tear to my eye. Jeffy Lynne is up there with the Beatles and Brian Wilson. Jeff deserves the title of musical genius.
Who wouldn't be just a bit nervous while inducting the likes of ELO into the Rock n Roll HOF. I cannot even imagine the life Dhani had growing up...and he's taken it in with grace and love. What a wonderful human being.
Just the sweetest, most honest and heart felt speech ever. Dhani is clearly nervous, excited and emotional about having the honor of inducting ELO and he has good reasons for being so. It's wonderful to smile as he speaks for it is so clearly from the heart. Jeff Lynne did so much for Dhani after his father died that it's only appropriate that Dhani do the induction speech.
Have loved Jeff Lynne, since before I had my own money, to buy records. Got backstage in 1977, somewhere in Germany!!!!!!! Mr. Lynne gave me the last pick he used, since it was still in his hand... what lovely, humble human beings. And I was SO mature and composed: laughing, crying, hugging Jeff and Bev and several members not honored, here, and blubbering “ I’m you’re greatest FAN!! “
The way he described his first ELO concert. He was 7. So he described it seeing them at 7 for the first time. And any thoughts he had came from THAT AGE AND TIME!!!💖💖🌹❤️
ELO is legendary and widely appreciated thru out our planet, can't get them out of my head music that Jeff Lynne gave to us, thanks from the heart for such wonderful sounds.......#kag2020
Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond. Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop. The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal".
Big loving oceanic hugzzzzzz our most beloved music stars, eternal gratitude gorgeous performers that made of our lives a better place, wishing you everybody other hundred years more having fun performing and entertain us fans because music makes life worth living, forever rooooock 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have never heard Dhani speak a lot but this was great and he comes across as a really lovely fella with real lovr ( excuse the pum) for Jeff and the band. Nice one Dhani dad will be very happy!!
@@adrienneahern181 I don't know what you're hearing, he doesn't sound American at all. His speech is very typical of someone from the South east of England.
Beautiful Dani. Of all the Beatles children he is the one who look the most like his dad. Second would be Julian. That aside, he is nervous but every word is unscripted, original and spontaneous...brought tears to my eyes. God bless him and ELO!
Your a Lucky Guy to have grown up with Great Music all around you. I saw your Dad in 1974 in Atlanta Georgia I wish Jeff Lynne and ELO had been there.😎✌👍🎸💙💜🙋
Thank you Dhani Harrison, for such a wonderful words, well deserved to My Hero! Jeffrey Lynne 😎🇬🇧❤ . You did a great induction, and I am so sure your beloved father is very proud of you..
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world.... @t 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
When he learnt all those songs he recorded for his Long Wave album, it added another dimension to his songwriting. His last two ELO albums are so ridiculously good, as a fan you know if he makes another album he will surprise you. To know that George Harrison felt the same about Jeff's supernatural talents, it doesn't get any cooler than that.
Dani Harrison has the same energy and excitement and upbeat attitude as my technology teacher. He just smiled that whole time and was bouncing around. He seemed very happy to be adding Jeff, Bev, and the others to the rock and roll hall of fame

Dani Harrison did a great job. To some he sounds nervous. For the people who knows him, Dhani is passionate and spoke with his heart. Jeff Lynne means so much to him and even more since George passed away. Dhani will do the first part of Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Summer Tour in the US and Canada...I already have my tickets to see the best show in the world this year.
I went last year and have tickets for 2019 Detroit! I'm excited to see Dhani!! Elo is so amazing. I was so impressed!!
I just saw ELO, in Philly, with Dhani opening. Then he came out to do Handle with Care by the Wilburys! It was phenomenal!
Just attended this past Saturday's show (2019/07/27) in Chicago and loved it. Both Dhani and Jeff's ELO sets were incredible. Such a great night out!
@J lu ...there's always some skidmark that'll drag politics into something pure like this...congrats..here's your sign
@Holly Krueger
same here...grand rapids!
Dhani such a great person, just like his father, the quiet Beatle, cheers!!
...less quiet though LOL
What makes him a great person? 😮
Jeff Lynne is an under-appreciated musical genius of our time. The depth of ELO's music is astounding. Few people recognize what a wide composition of musical styles and influence that Lynne's music pays tribute to. It speaks to the beauty and tribulations of the entire human condition - hardship and perseverance, nature and spirituality, love and rejection, romance and heartache. In addition to ELO's many hit singles, many of their songs actually blended into intricate rock concertos on their albums. If you have not experienced them, please give a listen to "Concerto for a Rainy Day" (subtitle of the full 3rd side of the Out Of The Blue album) or even the Eldorado album. I was a die-hard ELO fan from back in the day, while my friends couldn't see past artists like Ted Nugent. This induction was long. long overdue.
no he isnt everyone who knows music knows the brilliance of the Lynne!
NoStreetBs grew up onELO
Couldn't agree more.
One of my very favorites!
Roy Wood is an under-appreciated musical genius
Dhani has a great sense of humor and is a natural story teller. What a wonderful creative mind!
He was obviously nervous but what a great sincere tribute to one of the greatest groups ever
So true. RIP George Tom and Roy .
who wouldn't be in front of so many people and legends
No, not nervous - excited, enthusiastic and speaking off the cuff. Nice job!
@@AldrigEvigt My thoughts exactly!
@ Fuck off, Dhani knew Jeff Lynne as a person better than most people there, worked with him to finish George's last record, has played concerts with him and most importantly, I can assure you that George himself would've been as nervous as Dhani doing the speech, and don't tell me that George didn't have the "credentials" for this.
Speeches are more meaningful when they're done by someone who shares a strong connection with you, and you can tell that's the case with Jeff and Dhani
The most astonishing thing is it took till 2017 for ELO to be inducted. And in that lies the huge problems with the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Yes, very true!
Another is that they let bands choose who to induct so bands can be very spiteful
So when Fleetwood Mac were inducted they excluded Bob Welch who was there at a crucial moment as the group moved away from being a blues band
But in relation to ELO Wood is picked (and he was there for about a year and a half) but Kelly Groucutt who was bass player for eight crucial years was excluded
Cheap Trick in, Jethro Tull out... Enough said.
It's just like high school. Nothing but a popularity contest. IMO it's all BS!!
So many bands who should have been voted in years ago, and no sign that they'll even be considered...
Hearing Dhani opening his heart wide, apologising that he was the speaker ~in place of his father George Harrison~, inducting the ever brilliant ELO/Jeff Lynne for their contribution to music was quite moving. Dhani is an Englishman, so his emotion and enthusiasm tempered by good manners recounting boyhood memories of his father, ELO, and music was not ego fueled swagger, tedium, or nerves; but was joyful, energetic, and a loving speech.

This about E.L.O not his solo career !His solo career shouldn’t be mentioned save that for when they put him as individual !
This had to be the most emotional I induction to the hall of Fame the fabulously incredibly talented underrated Jeff Lynne and ELO
How proud was Jeff of Dhani Harrison and you know George was there in spirit he will carry on his dad's legacy another brilliant talented musician George Harrison the quiet Beatle and you know Jeff's like a father to Dhani isn't he?
I just wish it wasn't cut off @ the end isn't there a part to when Jeff received the award?
This is the most humblest speech I've ever heard. I'm a young 58 year old Hippie. I've heard an introduction or two. This is one of the best...
Yes Dhani seems like just a regular guy. He is very humble about being the son of a legendary rock star.
Dhani truly is a humble soul - no artifice. And even if he weren't, he's smart enough to know how to present himself when in the company of his super famous dad's famous friends.
Dhani’s speech was great! I’m one of the 1st ones to begin the audience cheering when he brought up “Back to the Future” since we knew its star was in attendance. I was so happy the rest of the crowd followed suit! I was close, but not close enough to see the very touched look on MJ Fox’s face. Thank you, Dhani, for allowing us to thank him!
George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne are 3 of the most talented musicians and best friends throughout it all. With friends like that it's no wonder these men created some of the best music ever.
Don't forget those other two in the band...Roy and Bob D.
George would be proud, Dhani did a great job, Congrats ELO, great honour, fab performance to all!!!!
Dhani Harrison...no notes needed...most passionate enthus
iastic and straight from the heart ...for ELO...and Jeff...your dad is smiling down...good on you man!!!!!
ELO in the hall. About fookin time
yeah you right
RIGHT ???
Without any of the string players. They'd be Mik Kaminsky, Hugh McDowell and Melvyn Gale. Makes absolutely no sense but that's the Rock and Roll hall of fame for you.
You damn skippy!
chookin*
Dhana, you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for this sincere introduction, and congratulations to Jeff Lynne and ELO - they provided the soundtrack to my childhood!
This has to be the greatest induction speeches ever....
Agree. D’Hani spoke with such passion and vivid memories of his first concert and introduction of Jeff. I was blown away by his skill as a raconteur. Brilliant job!!

Michael J. Fox was amazed at the mention, but his reaction was beautifully humble. Kudos.
What wonderful memories Dhani has of his beloved father. He is an awesome image of his father. I love his stories as being told by a 7 year old child, wonderful!!!!!!☺️
I have learned a lot from both Dhani and his father. This video taught me that you can deliver a brilliant speech, and be terrified out of your mind at the same time! 😂
Dhani. You always do your father proud -- an extraordinarily difficult job. I find you wholly genuine, credible, beautiful, talented, and best of all, cognizant of the meaning and stature of your father's work to him and to those of us who loved him. Thank you. And bravo to your father and mother -- they did a really good job. You live up admirably to your father's legend. I salute you.
well said.
Great introduction by Dhani. He’s certainly inherited his father’s charm and since of humor. When ELO released Roll Over Beethoven I thought that it was the second coming of the Beatles! What an incredible band!
Well said!

That must've been heavy.

Love Dhani. Like father, like son. RIP dear George.
Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan, Kelly Groucutt, Richard Tandy, Mike Kamiński, Hugh McDowell, Mike de Albuquerque, Melvyn Gale. That was a legendary lineup.
Shame on RRHOF for waiting this long to induct this golden treasure, Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra!
Love Jeff Lynne's E.L.O.!!
😍😍😍😍
😎😎😎😎
💗💗💗💗
I had never seen dhani before today and I know now how much I've missed. He is a wonderful man. George is proud of his son I know.
Dhani did such a wonderful job inducting ELO. He was a gentleman, so well-spoken and I'm sure George is looking down on him and is so proud.
Wonderful speech by Dhani. I love ELO and the Beatles. Music doesn't get any better than them.
we love you Dhani... u are ur fathers son... and we see u being as good as he was... good luck in your carreer Dhani... lots of love to you and ur mom Olivia XXXX
This band is incredibly underrated. They're amazing! Their induction is long overdue
Not underrated!
It was so great to see Michael J. Fox sitting in the audience. I am so happy that he went there. (Actually I cried like a baby.)
I just cried tears of appreciation. Great speech Dhani
For the life this young man grew up in he really seems like he has it all together
..he may be a little nervous but not at a loss for words ...I like him
....quite a Harrison comparison
To many of his peers Jeff Lynne is the very best ever...Most versatile musician, singer, songwriter, producer and most humble man in pop or Rock. See you Jeff Lynne's ELO in concert in 2019!
Dhani did a TERRIFIC job here, with so many insider references and so much humor.
And Dhani has his father's voice, so much.
So pleased that Roy Wood was inducted.
Yeah only for Roy Wood no of this would of happened.
Does it get lovelier than this? I don’t think so. Sweet, funny, vulnerable, genuine, loving.
Yeah it could how about a mention of String section on the classic line up and his Nasir who he really screwed over Kelly
Dhani is such a great guy! He was so nervous! It took him forever to announce.ELO. I would love to meet him. George would be so proud of Dhani. ELO is a great band. They certainly deserved the award. Jeff is so talented in so many ways. He is a one man band. ❤️🌹❤️
If ANYONE deserves a Nobel Peace Prize it is Mr. Lynne. His music and concerts make the world a better place for everyone and anyone that experiences them. He gives us far more than we have ever given him. Let's get this done and then we can say: All over the world, Everybody got the word, Everybody, everywhere, is gonna feel tonight! Tim Ball, Rochelle, Illinois
Lynne is on speaking terms with almost none of his former band members - the ones who went on road with him night after night playing one gruelling show after another. They got stiffed financially and frozen out of the induction.. so no Jeff Lynne doesn't deserve a peace prize.
@@tenaciouso2572 OK
Dhani Harrison, you are a amazing singer and entertainer, I enjoy seeing you and ELO last night.
Seeing how his Dad and Jeff were such close friends and he grew up knowing Jeff,this would be like getting to induct your uncle into The RRHOF.
That's why Jeff and George were in the traveling wilburys
Technically speaking, Jeff was his uncle.
Is there a more likeable person on this earth than this lovely Dhani?
Tom Petty , Joe Walsh and George Harrison: "Jeff Lynne is the best overall Musician we have ever met".
That is the best speech for one of the greatest bands ever.
Those beautiful blue eyes behind the sunglasses!
In ELO's early years
George and Olivia Harrison really wanted Tom and Jeff on that stage. Don't forget life is short...Celebrate Legends while they are still alive.

MY BAND! Love them sooooo much. My first big rock concert when New World Record was released. Damn, they blew me away. Do Ya love these guys as much as I do? Roll Over if you do. Classical instruments rocking as hard as a Les Paul plugged into Marshall cranked all the way up. They were already in the Hall of Fame of my heart and always will be. They cast a spell of Strange Magic over me and it’s been Blue Skies every since, at least musically.
such a lovely man, raised well :))
Jeff... one hell of an underrated songwriter !!!!!
Great introduction by a great guy for a great band! Thank you for sharing this and God bless everyone and happy Easter
Brilliant introduction/testimonial by Dhani. So genuine, warm, enthusiastic. Wow. Nailed it!
Dhani is like Sarah Lee. Nobody doesn't like him. John Lennon said that if the Beatles had continued, they would have sounded

great job, Dhani. You are amazing! What a sweet man...and charming! lol :) Shine on! and YES! Long overdue, ELO! a big congrats!
What a beautiful tribute l,not only to ELO, but to his dad as well. It brought tears to my eyes.
I think he looks just like his Dad. It's evident how he felt about his Dad and Jeff as well. I'm so glad I got to watch this. Thank you .
Idk how I missed this. I'm seeing it now. Best concert I've ever been to was ELO.
I don't know why but this brought a tear to my eye. Jeffy Lynne is up there with the Beatles and Brian Wilson. Jeff deserves the title of musical genius.
I really like seeing Dhani Harrison. He's very friendly, understands music, and when he sings, sounds like his father.
Dhani what a Nice Tribute to ELO + 4 his Dad some of Memories joked him up ,but he did AWESOME ✌💙
I love!
ELO , Finally In The Hall Of Fame.
Jeff Lynn Is A Force Of Nature ❤
Who wouldn't be just a bit nervous while inducting the likes of ELO into the Rock n Roll HOF. I cannot even imagine the life Dhani had growing up...and he's taken it in with grace and love. What a wonderful human being.
Just the sweetest, most honest and heart felt speech ever. Dhani is clearly nervous, excited and emotional about having the honor of inducting ELO and he has good reasons for being so. It's wonderful to smile as he speaks for it is so clearly from the heart. Jeff Lynne did so much for Dhani after his father died that it's only appropriate that Dhani do the induction speech.
Have loved Jeff Lynne, since before I had my own money, to buy records. Got backstage in 1977, somewhere in Germany!!!!!!! Mr. Lynne gave me the last pick he used, since it was still in his hand... what lovely, humble human beings. And I was SO mature and composed: laughing, crying, hugging Jeff and Bev and several members not honored, here, and blubbering “ I’m you’re greatest FAN!! “
Wow, what a thrill!
The way he described his first ELO concert. He was 7. So he described it seeing them at 7 for the first time. And any thoughts he had came from THAT AGE AND TIME!!!💖💖🌹❤️
ELO is legendary and widely appreciated thru out our planet, can't get them out of my head music that Jeff Lynne gave to us, thanks from
the heart for such wonderful sounds.......#kag2020
Dani how great you are. Like your father. BRAVO!!!
George must be very proud of his son. Dhani, you're dad loves you and is watching over you. Dhani is quite funny! 🤗 ❤
Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond.
Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop.
The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal".
Que grandes la ELO recuerdos de mi adolescencia Jeff 🤗

So gracious, warm, and lovely
He's a good kid.
Very first concert ELO in 76, the Hollywood bandshell, then YES in 77, good times.
Quite a moving induction speech here.
I have never heard Dhani speak a lot but this was great and he comes across as a really lovely fella with real lovr ( excuse the pum) for Jeff and the band.
Nice one Dhani dad will be very happy!!
Dhani sounds so American . He use to talk British accent
@@adrienneahern181 I don't know what you're hearing, he doesn't sound American at all. His speech is very typical of someone from the South east of England.
His work in the Traveling Wilburys with the other legends was amazing.
DHANI YOU DID A GREAT JOB HERE GOOD FOR YOU HE IS WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOU VERY PROUD OF YOU .
Beautiful Dani. Of all the Beatles children he is the one who look the most like his dad. Second would be Julian. That aside, he is nervous but every word is unscripted, original and spontaneous...brought tears to my eyes. God bless him and ELO!
Loved hearing and seeing this - what an eloquent ode to Jeff Lynne and ELO's legacy!
Beautiful boy, Dhani.
ELO inductance is well deserved and overdue.
I love the story he tells about Jeff Lynne
Dhani, perfect son, perfect
Your a Lucky Guy to have grown up with Great Music all around you. I saw your Dad in 1974 in Atlanta Georgia I wish Jeff Lynne and ELO had been there.😎✌👍🎸💙💜🙋
Thank you Dhani Harrison, for such a wonderful words, well deserved to My Hero!
Jeffrey Lynne 😎🇬🇧❤
.
You did a great induction, and I am so sure your beloved father is very proud of you..
Qué honor , el hijo de un grande, contando con tanta emotividad y espontaneidad la trayectoria musical de esta maravillosa banda!!!

ELO tremendous music they deserve it George Dhani doing your work obvious genius well done
Awe Dhani Awesome Job♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world.... @t 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
When he learnt all those songs he recorded for his Long Wave album, it added another dimension to his songwriting. His last two ELO albums are so ridiculously good, as a fan you know if he makes another album he will surprise you. To know that George Harrison felt the same about Jeff's supernatural talents, it doesn't get any cooler than that.
@@quaid667 So true! Thank you for your great comment.
@@MusicLover10538 You are so welcome. I can talk endlessly about Jeff. Just ask my wife lol
When I was a boy I knew that The Beatles and Jeff Lynne /ELO are just like musical brothers ❤
Dani Harrison has the same energy and excitement and upbeat attitude as my technology teacher. He just smiled that whole time and was bouncing around. He seemed very happy to be adding Jeff, Bev, and the others to the rock and roll hall of fame
Dhani is quite a young man. I know his Pop is so proud!! His mother as well! Poor guy was so nervous, I thought he was gonna do the technicolor yawn!!
Ron F he loves tom petty he looks up to him that right there is enough for me to respect hi
Melanie Kaweck Tom Petty was a big influence on me as well.... Wildflowers and Last DJ are my favorite Petty albums/CD's.........
sure it was just an oversight but Kelly Groucutt not mentioned anywhere. Key harmony to Lynne during their heyday. RIP Kelly
That is what I thought too.
They did say "Original Members", but I agree that Kelly's backing vocals fit together with Jeff very well.
Kelly was not one of the original members when ELO formed. He WAS integral later, but not at first.
Actually. I said the same thing.
@@RMillerism kelly was with them since 1974 and carried them through the 90s when Jeffs head got too big. Love Jeff but its true
Love dahni Harrison George would be one proud father he is wàtching smiling 😀
